抵抗的地域:批判地域主义的批判

Placing Resistance: A Critique of Critical Regionalism

批判地域主义在20世纪80年代早期作为一种建筑概念横空出世,对彼时的前沿理论家如弗兰姆普敦而言,批判地域主义是一种抵抗的建筑学,它寻求对普世文明的调和并反映和服务于它赖以生存的特定地区。本文重新检视了批判地域主义的论述,尤其是它对抵抗的强调,以及作为一种理论建构无意间所忽略或压平的多元建筑取向。笔者选取墨西哥建筑师路易斯·巴拉甘作为批判地域主义的代表,以分析批判地域主义存在的一些最有争议的假设、暗示和影响。

Critical regionalism emerged as an architectural concept during the early 1980s. For leading theorists such as Kenneth Frampton, critical regionalism was an "architecture of resistance" seeking "to mediate the impact of universal civilization" and "to reflect and serve the limited constituencies" in which it was grounded. This paper examines critical regionalist rhetoric, particularly its emphasis on resistance, as a theoretical construct that inadvertently marginalized and conflated the diverse architectural tendencies it championed. The reception of Mexican architect Luis Barragan as a critical regionalist is highlighted to analyze some of critical regionalism’s most problematic assumptions, implications, and effects.
